Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal arrested by ED: Appear in special court today

Aam Admi Party(AAP) Chief Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday evening, will be produced before a special court today.

A 12-member team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal at his residence. The Enforcement Directorate arrived at Kejriwal's residence on Thursday to interrogate him regarding the liquor policy case.

During a search operation conducted at his residence, Kejriwal was arrested amidst dramatic circumstances, as the AAP convener failed to obtain interim protection from arrest in the liquor policy case from the Delhi High Court.

Terming the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister as the BJP's "political conspiracy," Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi said that it is the first time that a sitting CM has been arrested by the Central government. However, the BJP has criticises the AAP claims saying that, the Delhi Chief Minister was paying for allegedly indulging in corruption.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonwalla said, "... AAP leaders are saying that Arvind Kejriwal is not a human, but an ideology... The ideology is that he will be corrupt and when the court takes action, he will call it an atrocity... And play the victim card... I want to ask them, is the court finishing the democracy?... The SC rejected Manish Sisodia's bail. The SC said that there is a money trail of Rs. 338 crore. Sanjay Singh's bail was rejected by the HC. If your teammates have been in jail for more than a year now, has the BJP done it or the Courts have done it?.. Your BFF Congress found you drowned in the Liquor scam...", he was speaking to ANI.

Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc parties have came out in support of Kejriwal and criticised the BJP for using ED as a weapon against the Opposition.
